That must explain the unprecedented success Jurich has had the least two decades. Lying is usually the way that's done.
And we don't have to "think" it out or talk about what's "probable"... There's plenty of documented evidence that Tyra and his boss are liars...
Actually, just the opposite is true. My intuition told me--correctly--that a "good friend" doesn't behave like this Cat. You don't stick a knife in the back of a legitimate friend. It was just rhetoric on Vince's part.
Being “good friends” can be a subjective thing. I met Vince Tyra 30+ years ago and have over the years run into him dozens of times - always saying hello and occasionally having conversations with him. I suppose I could tell people based upon this, that I am good friends with him however it would be quite a stretch in my book. Friendly acquaintances is as far as I’d go.
That's five reasons that resonate with me, and he hasn't been in the job a month...
- Documented liar
- Hired by scumbags (What's the likelihood he's a lot different?)
- Concealed relationship with Grissom
- No AD credentials
- Slapd!ck
Yeah, I don’t think Tyra is those things but, I do think that with his characterization of the relationship with Jurich, he was trying to ingratiate himself to Jurich supporters by overinflating their association and trading on Jurich’s name as part of a larger attempt to justify his taking - or being qualified - for the position.
I don't disagree with that reasoning in a situation where name-dropping or overstating "friendship" isn't motivated by something else.
Good question, but not that much... Like many for obvious reasons, I developed into a huge fan of Jurich. But there are plenty of LPT fans who don't care for Brainfart. The two don't necessarily go hand in hand...
Those are facts, not a narrative. Jurich is in the past. And my issues with U of L presently are limited to about a half-dozen people in very powerful jobs at the moment.
That's a good summary, and probably the right one to indicate an appropriate level of skepticism.
The saying is you don't wanna follow the man, but rather follow the man who followed the man.
He’s getting 100K a month because he’s grissom’s buddy. It’s laughable that grissom can bitch about Jurich’s pay and talk about shady side deals and cronyism, and then hire his friend with zero experience for 1.2 million.
The ridiculous thing is he has a fraction of Jurich's credentials. And if he was already too well paid to take the job otherwise, that's fine, he doesn't take it. You either pay the Cat what he's worth, or you find someone else...
What does Barnhart have to do with anything? Why even bring him up? Anyways, most college sports fans couldn't even name the AD at the school they follow. I've certainly never witnessed an athletic director garner a fan base. It's a unique dynamic.
You’ve never witnessed an AD do for a school what Jurich did either.
I strongly disagree. Most passionate fan bases are very much aware of who their AD is and either credit him for a great job or discredit him for a poor one. Think of all the discrediting thrown Mitch Barnhart's direction during the Tubby and BCG years or the Joker Phillips years. Hell, UK fans boycotted games to send a message to Barnhart. The only difference between UK fans and UofL fans in this regard is we liked our guy immensely and you guys didn't like yours at various times. But you damn sure knew who he was and made your feelings about him known...loudly.
I don't disagree. I've been hot and cold with Mitch and always have been. I'd still maintain that the majority of your everyday college sports fan don't identify their AD. Now internet sports fans definitely are the exception. But I'm just referring to the casual fan which I'd say eclipse the very passionate fans in numbers.
That's because Jurich was unique, maybe the best AD ever.
The comparison is not lost on me, it was just un needed and misplaced. A simple "no Mr. Rockfly, this mess has not diminished my love for the Cards" would have sufficed. But I forget, everything always comes back to LPT for you.
LOL! Poor little offended slapd!ck! You were given a perfectly valid example of why support for an AD doesn't have to dovetail with support for a team, coaches, and players.
Dude come on. I'm not freaking offended. Lol. I was being sarcastic and silly. Do you honestly think I expected you to refer to me as "Mr. Rockfly"? Haha. You give yourself too much credit for getting under my skin. Let me help you out, you can't. Lighten up bud.
"Sarcastic" my a$$. You clowns think your opinion matters and that you're entitled to humane treatment. Sorry...
ill try to keep it more serious and black and white with you. I don't want anything to get lost in translation.
And they continue to set the table for Jurich's attorney. I'd like to know if U of L is getting ANY legal advice worth paying for. I guess money now is tight...
Maybe they’ve set up Smrt as a one stop shop? Based upon the level of smugness showed by grissom and postel, I certainly wouldn’t put it past them.And they continue to set the table for Jurich's attorney.

You’ll have to be more specific given that there have been multiple instances of rampant rule breaking in yut-ville. As memory serves, the last AD to preside over rampant cheating - at least the last rampant cheating that was proven - had the football field named after him.
Shit - just watching stupes manage a game, is probable cause to piss test him weekly.
